Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department would like to thank everyone who participated in the Spring into Health Fair. The exhibitors and visitors made the event a success. We hope you had as much fun as we did and maybe learned something new, too. If you were not able to make it, don’t worry. The success of the event prompted us to host another in the future. So, stay tuned.
Walk it out. Need a boost of energy? Do you often find yourself in that afternoon slump? Would you rather exercise at a more convenient time than early in the morning or late in the day? If any of these things describe you, come join us and other workers for a lunchtime power walk at the Burt-Cobb Community Center. Walkers meet on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays at 11a.m. to get in a brisk, heart stimulating walk in before the afternoon slump can take over. [Read more]
